3D Printer Nozzles – precise extrusion for every material

The choice of the right 3D printer nozzle determines print quality, speed, and material usage. Whether standard brass nozzle, hardened steel nozzle for abrasive filaments, or high-flow variants for fast prints – here you will find the suitable solution.

What types of nozzles are there?

• Brass: standard for PLA, PETG, and TPU – very good heat conduction, ideal for all-round use.
• Plated Copper: nickel-plated copper nozzles for even heat and high temperatures up to approx. 500 °C.
• Hardened Steel: wear-resistant for CF, glass, or glow filaments, usable up to approx. 450 °C.
• Ruby & Special Nozzles: highest durability, precise bores even with very abrasive materials.

Nozzle diameter overview

0.2 mm: highest detail fidelity, slower prints.
0.4 mm: standard size, optimal balance of detail and speed.
0.6–0.8 mm: faster printing, more stable parts, less risk of clogging.
1.0 mm and larger: maximum speed and robust parts, especially with high-flow hotends.

Practical tips for the right choice

• Switch to hardened nozzles in time for abrasive filaments (CF, glow, wood).
• Use high-flow or CHT nozzles for wide lines and large parts.
• Keep spare nozzles in various sizes ready to stay flexible.
